Second Race May Be Necessary for
Attorney General and fcr State |
Supt. of Education
The State, 31st.
Continued tabulation vesterdav of
returns from Tuesday's Democratic
primary in South Carolina brought
no material changes from results as
announced yesterday morning.
With 93 of the 1,307 precincts in
the state yet to be reported, the total
vote counted was ,160.670. The outstanding
precincts will doubtless not
add more than 5,000. This would indilate
that not more than 75 per
cent of the total enrollment of 226,581
cast ballots last Tuesday.
The tabulated vote at midnight last
night, for governor: Cole L. Blease,
71.796; Thomas G. McLeod, 61.S96;
George K. Laney, 20,638; William
, Coleman, 3, 469; John T. Duncan,
1,692, and J. J. Cantey, 1.179. A
second race will be run by Blease
and McLeod with the second primary
September 12. i
On the face of incompleted returns
E. B. Jackson of Wagener has apparently
been dominated lieutenant governor,
he having a majority og 2,460
over both his opponents. The tabulated
vote in the race was: Jackson,
71,393; Dr. E. C. L. Adams, 34,987;
J. K. Owens, 33,946.
R. E Craig has been nominated adjutant
and inspector general over T.
B. Marshall. Mr. Craig has a lead of
more than 10,000 over his opponent..
The vote last night stood: Craig,
83,064; Marshall, 73,036.
A secorui race will ,oe run for state
superintendent of education, apparenty
between John E. Swearingen incumbent,
and J. H. Hope. The vote
for this office was: Swearingen, 40,509;
Hope, 34,566; Mrs. Bessie Ivodgers
Drake, 32,790; Mrs. E. B. Wallace,
21,240; C. H. Seigier, 8,401; O.
D. Seay, 8,070.
Another race in which a second
L vote may be required for a decision
1 is that of attorney general. Latest
| returns give Mr. Wolfe a majority of
J 'only 597 over his two opponents. The
votes counted give: Wolfe, 81.83S;
Harold Eubanks, 40,356; D. M. Winter,
40,885.
W. Banks Dove was renominated
for secretary of state. Walter E.
Duncan for comptroller general, and
B. Harris for commissioner of agricuture,-by
large majorities.
S. T. Carter was renominated
for state treasurer without opposition.

CHURCH CALLED UPON TO AID
IN ECONOMIC PR03LEMS
i
To E".::ert Its Greatest Efforts to I
I: r ir.:; Spirit of Good Will Into
ihe Economic Order
Washington. Aug. 28?The church j
is willed upon to exert its greatest]
e'forts to bring the Christian spirit I
ot fairness and good-will into the
t.onomic crder. to teach Christian
principles and to insist upon their ap;>
:c..tion to industry, in the Lai'oor
day Sunday message of the commission
on the church and social service
of the federal council of churches.
The message deals with industrial
conditions during the last year, and
expresses sympathy with organized
labor in the coal an.l railway situations,
saying that beware due to the
inadequacy of earnings of the men.
That rhe financial conditions of certain
of the railroads may have made
the reductions for their employees
appear desirable, it says, adds only
tf- the seriousness of the situation.
The message declares that the
shopmen are fighting for the very
life of their union and that wnere
such a war of extermination is being
waged, employer? can only expect
ultimate moral defeat. The message
deplores that the 12 hour working
day is still in effect in the steel industry
and asserts that '"apparently it
will require all the continued moral
pressure of the church to complete
ihe reformation of the industry."
After pointing out that health and
happiness are. generally speaking,
; necessary to the attainment of the
; higher life and that the church cannot
be indifferent to the physical
; well-being of its people, which de
i pends so laregly on their economic
: status, the message declares that
! Christian teachings as applied to industry
include three cardinal principles:
the worth of personality, b'rotherhcod
as between all those en'gagc>i!
in industry, and the motive of
service.
Regretting that "we are still in a
period where the dominant note in
the industrial world is one of strife
and controversy," the message says,
''there probably never was a time
when there v.\:s more bitterness and
...infiir-r snmfi nf it due to misunder
standing between employers and
workers and some of it unfortunately
' due to a very clear understanding of
h.-.nile aims and purposes/'
-\fter rtating that the public is
;m re cr>;i:^ iou<5 of the unpleasant and
rrous results of industrial disan?:
i often ignorant of the
.r. ijor facts of i:< judgment dictated
considerations of self-interest ratner
than of justice and right, the
::u'?.sage i.s-j.-.s ir.-ny of the strikes
which have o:-vUrred during the oe

BREAK BETWEEN ALLIES
GROWS LESS PROBABLE
British and French Viewpoint* on
Moratorium Issue at Wide
Variance
Paris, Aug. 28.?The reparations
committee met again today in an effort
to reach an unanimous agreei
ment regarding the German request
! for a moratorium on her indemnity ,
!
! payments. At the end of several
hours of discussion the British and,
French viewpoints were still widely
and
at variance, wnu wis
Belgians merely trying to find some
proposal which would meet the ideas
of France and Great Britain.
Two projected solutions were seriously
discussed. One of them was
known as the Belgian plan and the
other was an amplification of a lastminute
suggestion offered by Germa'
ny just before Sir John Bradbury
and Eugene Mauclere, British and
French members of the commission,
left Berlin for Paris last week..
The Belgian plan has been unofficially
offered by the Belgian delegation
as a means of preventing a
break between England and France
on the reparations issue. Unde/ its
terms Belg:um would accept Jongterm
notes in place of the remaining
cash payments due this year, amounting
to 150.000,000 goid marks. As
a guarantee of ultimate payment of
these installments, Germany would
deposit 210.000,000 gold marks from
the reserve of the 'Reichbank in the
Bank of England. France has not
definitely declared herself on this
proposal, and M. de La Croix, Belgian
member of the commission, and
M. Dubois, president, are conferring
in the hope that it might prove satisfactory.
England and Italy already
have approved the proposition.
The German plan, which probably
will be the subject of conversations
between the commission and Ger
man officials on Wednesday, would
meet Premier Poincare's demand for
allied control of a German
state mines and forests by a guarantee
to France of the products of
these resources during the period
the moratorium. Failure to promptly
deliver the stipulated timiber and
coal would result in the seizure of
; certain mines which would be designated
in the agreement. British approval
is behind this arrangement,
which is regarded as giving France
the productive guartantees she seeks
wifHnnt aftnallv turning over noliti
cal control of the mines and forests.
The British continue to emphasize
their belief that Germany is doing
! everything she can to .meet the
French point of view and would be
willing to give the productive guarantees
which M. Poincare demands
in return for a moratorium if such
guarantees are of a strictly business
character, and net political.
The French official continues to be
that full control of the German mines
and forests must be handed over to
the allies in return for a moratori
unu Howewr, there is considerably
less talk of threatened isolated action
and moie of the desire of France
to reach a unanimous decision in the
commission through a compromise.
